At a tragic time such as this, our prayers and thoughts go out to the families and loved ones of Thomas and Lincoln. They will be deeply missed. They were extremely brave men, who were tragically taken while doing what they loved.

Words cannot express the sadness all the friends and colleagues of Thomas here in Abu Dhabi are feeling right now. Thomas was a good friend and work colleague and we will miss him terribly. Our sympathies go out to his family and we pray that God will give them the strength to get through this. We would also like to extend our sympathies to the family and friends of Lincoln

I will remember my teammates Igor, Thomas and Lincoln for the rest of my days. My heart goes out to the families and friends. What a terrible day on the mountain. My heart goes out to Harry also, as I know that he and Thomas were close. Harry took care of Thomas many times during the expedition while he was sick, etc.

Normally, just about 1 hour, or 2 hours max, from 7000 to ABC (Advance Base Camp) which is 6400 meters. I think they will stay there the night for sure. That is where Alex has been. ABC is very safe, and from there YAKs carry weight to Base Camp. They can break down that camp in a day.

It is 10 in the morning, so Harry is probably in route now, or getting ready.

Last year, Harry and I were slow, as we both went from 8300 meters to ABC in a day, and we were both very dehydrated. I am sure Sherpas are with him now.

Not a perfect person, but a true person.

This is really sad news ... I knew Lincoln as a climber and a writer and have been shocked to hear of his loss. He was a really good man - generous with his time, experience and always encouraging others to achieve their goals.
